  • During combat, this causes enemies to turn towards the illusion.
  • The illusion activates traps if placed on top of them.
  • If placed on top of a vent, the illusion prevents gas from coming out, just as if a physical item were placed there.
  • The illusion will disappear if the caster starts concentrating on another spell, but casting this will not break concentration for existing spells.
